This project deviates from the influence of 19th century German culture, which made musical work “object of contemplation (meditation),” and emphasizes all communication involved in the realization of a work of music, viewing a musical work as a “place of sharing” in which a place where all possible forms of generation, empathy, exchange, and agreement can take place between different people.
The act of listening is performed not through “creative imagination” but through “instruments = instrumentalized bodies”. The project also attempts to communicate among Human, Instruments, and Sounds that occur in the space of a musical work.
The program includes Yohan Kim’s “a pianistic model: material turn” (2022) and “an ambient music in room: between listen to and listen to with” (2023), and Tomomi Adachi’s Lecture performance “What is collective instrument,” or “Sympathy/Synchronicity/Synthesizer” (2023). The performers are Tomomi Adachi, Satoko Inoue(Piano), Yohan Kim, and Kyoko Kurihara(Flute).
